English: Illustration for the poem "The Saturnalia" by Walter Thornbury, Once a Week magazine, Volume 8, page 154. The Roman festival Saturnalia was a topsy-turvy day when slaves dressed up as masters. In this 1863 poem, Thornbury, by way of a racialized depiction of the festival, imagines the horrors of licence that would ensue if modern-day slaves got the upper hand on their masters. The illustrator G. J. Pinwell lays out the implications by adding peacock feathers and a mirror (symbols of vanity) and a monkey (symbol of both licentiousness and mindless imitation).
